Abstract
Description
- High-pressure pipes are used in the oilfield to deliver fluids in well stimulation processes, flowback, etc., to enhance or otherwise support production of hydrocarbons from the wells. For example, the pipes may be designed to carry fluids between pumping equipment and the well. The fluids in the pipes can be at pressures exceeding 5,000 psi in some cases. The pipes are generally laid on the ground and connected together, end-to-end, using high-pressure couplings. In most cases, this assembly is effective and is employed without incident.
- With such high-pressure pipelines, however, the consequences of a leak or failure in a pipe or coupling can be catastrophic. For example, a failure at a coupling can cause two pipes to decouple, sending an end of one of the pipes whipping about as a large amount of energy is released. This can pose serious risks to the safety of workers, and can potentially damage equipment.
- To mitigate this risk, safety systems have been developed for these pipes. These safety systems are generally provided as a cord or cable that extends parallel to the high-pressure pipe, and is tethered to it in multiple locations. While such tethering can reduce the range of the whipping motion, the length of the pipeline that can be secured is limited by the length of the cord/cable. Further, running a cord or cable parallel to the entire length of the pipe, and then making multiple tethered connections can be time-consuming and expensive.
- Embodiments of the disclosure may provide a pipe restraint that includes an anchor configured to be secured to the ground, a first gripping member configured to grip a first pipe, a second gripping member configured to grip a second pipe that is connected to the first pipe, and one or more arms connected to the anchor and the first and second gripping members. The one or more arms are configured to constrain movement of the first gripping member, the second gripping member, or both with respect to the anchor.
- Embodiments of the disclosure may also provide a method for securing a pipeline. The method includes securing an anchor to the ground proximal to a coupling between a first pipe and a second pipe, and coupling one or more arms to the anchor. The one or more arms extend at least partially towards the first pipe and the second pipe. The method also includes coupling a first gripping member to the first pipe, coupling a second gripping member to the second pipe, and coupling the first and second gripping members to the one or more arms, such that the first and second gripping members are coupled to the anchor via the one or more arms, so as to constrain a range of motion of the first pipe and the second pipe relative to the anchor.
- Embodiments of the disclosure may further provide a pipe restraint system including a plurality of pipe restraints that are not connected together. The plurality of pipe restraints each include an anchor configured to be at least partially embedded into the ground, a first gripping member configured to grip a first pipe, a second gripping member configured to grip a second pipe that is connected to the first pipe, a first arm that is pivotally coupled to the anchor and slidably coupled to the first gripping member; and a second arm that is pivotally coupled to the anchor and slidably coupled to the second gripping member.
- It is to be understood that both the foregoing general description and the following detailed description are exemplary and explanatory only and are not restrictive of the present teachings, as claimed.
- The accompanying figures, which are incorporated in and constitute a part of this specification, illustrate embodiments of the present teachings and together with the description, serve to explain the principles of the present teachings. In the figures:
-
FIG. 1 illustrates a perspective view of a pipe restraint, according to an embodiment. -
FIG. 2 illustrates another perspective view of the pipe restraint, according to an embodiment. -
FIG. 3 illustrates a perspective view of another embodiment of the pipe restraint. -
FIG. 4 illustrates a perspective view of another embodiment of the pipe restraint. -
FIG. 5 illustrates a simplified, schematic view of a pipe restraint system, according to an embodiment. -
FIG. 6 illustrates a flowchart of a method for restraining a pipeline, according to an embodiment. - Reference will now be made in detail to embodiments of the present teachings, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawing. In the drawings, like reference numerals have been used throughout to designate identical elements, where convenient. In the following description, reference is made to the accompanying drawing that forms a part thereof, and in which is shown by way of illustration a specific exemplary embodiment in which the present teachings may be practiced. The following description is, therefore, merely exemplary.
- Notwithstanding that the numerical ranges and parameters setting forth the broad scope of the disclosure are approximations, the numerical values set forth in the specific examples are reported as precisely as possible. Any numerical value, however, inherently contains certain errors necessarily resulting from the standard deviation found in their respective testing measurements. Moreover, all ranges disclosed herein are to be understood to encompass any and all sub-ranges subsumed therein.
- In general, the present disclosure provide a pipe restraint that is employable in a pipe restraint system and/or as part of a pipe restraint method, for securing a pipeline. The pipe restraint is formed, basically, from an anchor that is secured to the ground, two gripping members (e.g., clamps) that engage two pipes, near their ends and proximal to a coupling therebetween, and an arm that connects together the gripping members and the anchor. The arm and the gripping members are rigid (in comparison to a cord or cable), resisting deflection unlike a cable or cord. Further, the arm that connects together the anchor and the gripping member may be pivotable and slidable with respect to the gripping member. As such, the pipe restraint is adjustable to secure to the pipes across a range of positions, reducing the precision with which the anchor must be positioned offset from the pipes. Moreover, adjacent pipe restraints may not be connected together, and thus the pipe restraint system may be extensible for any length of pipeline, so long as an adequate number of pipe restraints are available for a desired spacing of the restraints.

FIG. 5 illustrates a simplified view of apipe restraint system 500, according to an embodiment. Thepipe restraint system 500 includes several, potentially dozens or even hundreds of,pipe restraints 502. Thepipe restraints 502 may be representative of one or more of thepipe restraint pipe restraints 502 each grip apipeline 503, e.g., eachpipe restraint 502 grips two pipes, e.g.,pipes coupling 508.
